No you didn’t.  You ran “valgrind”, and it said that there was an “invalid read”.  But you didn’t find out whether or not this report was real (“valgrind” is often mistaken), and, even if it is real, what, specifically, in our code is a problem.

Once again, running “valgrind” and having it claim that there is a problem is not the same as “finding” a problem.
